student placements in occ health settings

[joanhoenich]

does anyone have experience of the above, if so what particular difficulties have you come across, and have the placements been given any financial support

I have had several work experiance students come and look at what I do in an Occupational Health setting. This poses as no problem, provided each patient is asked for their consent. Most of the Occ Health settings I have worked in are:
a. Not large enough to accomodate more than one physio and a patient
b. All Occ health depts seem to be trimming the fat in terms of budget, so I think it doubtful that funding would be forthcoming
